WARNING:

RTD-200

RTD Temperature Sensor for Ambient Sensing
Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION

The nVent RAYCHEM RTD-200 is a three-wire platinum RTD
(resistance-temperature-detector) typically used with electronic
control systems that require accurate ambient temperature
sensing. The RTD-200 comes with a 1/2” NPT fitting that installs
to the appropriate conduit box. This allows mounting of the RTD
in a typical ambient location. This also allows for splicing of RTD
extension wire back to the controller.

This component is an electrical device. It must be installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to prevent shock or fire. Read these
important warnings and carefully follow all the installation instructions. Component approvals and performance are based on the use of
s pecified parts only. Do not use substitute parts or vinyl electrical tape to make connections.

INSTALLATION

The RTD-200 can be terminated directly at the controller
using the supplied 1/2 in NPT fitting. In this configuration,

noadditional extension wire is required.

RTD wired directly to controller

(Distance from sensor bulb to controller
must be less than 4 ft)

Note: RTD should be placed in
a typical ambient location.
